Player Opinion

Pros:

• HE shells have good damage and fire chance as well as a superb 86 mm penetration that allows citadel like burst damage on cruisers and destroyers.
• AP shells are deadly at close range.
• The ship can fire all ten guns without needing to expose much of her side.
• Her main guns have better accuracy and damage than Orion’s.

Cons:

• Abysmal turret traverse.
• The AP shells may sometimes struggle to deal damage against enemy battleships at long range.
• Shell flight time is slower than most same tier battleships.
• Mediocre speed.
